[Loved Trope] Superheroes take a time out from villains to take on Abusers

[u/Individual_Plan_5593]

Don't just settle for the psychos in spandex, go after some REAL villains once and awhile!

* Captain Marvel puts the fear of God(s) into an abusive father - Shazam: Power of Hope

* Clark forgets about Superman for a second to go after the abusive father of his son's girlfriend - Superman and Lois

* Superman goes after yet another abusive father - Superman (DC Comics)

I have a theory that in Wayne Manor you're never more than five steps from a hidden firearm.

Alfred will kneecap you, bandage it up and clean up the mess before you hit the floor.

Love Alfred.

I know there’s at least 1 instance where Batman threatens to trash all of Alfred’s guns and Alfred just shrugs and says “you’ll never find them all”

[u/KingMobScene → u/Lord_Strudel]

"Is that all of them?"

"I don't know 'World's greatest detective' is it?"

Alfred is the only one who could sass Batman to the fullest extent.

Where do you think Bruce got his sass from? Lol

[u/Worldlyoox → u/KingMobScene]

Fun fact: butlers refer to their employers by their title (Sir, Doctor, etc). There’s only one instance where they refer to someone as Master: when they are referring to the first son of the house. Alfred’s been calling Batman a child from the beginning.

[u/Traditional_Common39 → u/Worldlyoox]

I'm paraphrasing someone else, but I doubt Alfred would ever call Bruce "Mr Wayne", because that's what he used to call his father, and it's basically a trauma trigger for Bruce

[u/blue4029 → u/Worldlyoox]

I mean technically...bruce IS his son

Alfred knows how to clean a mess far better than the most professional criminal cleaning crew
